Juniors and Coaching Update

A couple of weeks ago we held the first of this year's classroom based sessions which help our Juniors learn about different shotting patterns, making pole rigs and other vital angling skills, following this our lads were desperate to get out on the bank again and try out some of the rigs they had made. As the weather wasn’t too bad, the coaches hastily arranged a session for them via our Junior WhatsApp group and arranged to meet at The Globe for a brief session on Saturday afternoon. Jack, Louis, Indy, Alec and Daniel all couldn’t wait to try out the rigs and put what they had learnt about shotting to the test.

They all practiced fishing bread punch over liquidised bread, and Pinkie fished over groundbait for a few hours. Everybody caught well with the lads getting bites from the off, all ending with decent bags of fish, with the best fish taken being Louis’s Perch which fell to pinkie and Indy’s bream which was taken on punch. Indy, who has only been fishing for a few months attended a Lets fish session in August, joined the Club and has made terrific progress, already fished representing us in Shropshire twice. This was Indy’s best bream and his biggest fish to date at around 2 ½ Lbs, so very well done.

Many of our Juniors enjoy the competitions and we will have a full regional series next year culminating in the CRT Celebration next September, and many of our Juniors have pre booked for that weekend event already.
